Careless Setting Of Grass Fires Expensive To Town Fire Depirtmcnt Members Will Stipervivs Burning Over Lots If You Phone Harry Green. Grass fires most often carelessly or thoughtlessly set are costing the citi zens or Raeford a groat deal of unne cessary expense, according to Mayor Neill A. McFr.dyen. "Such fires dur ing the past five or six weeks have cost the taxpayers about $100," he explain ed. The fire department has arranged to have one or more men available to assist property holders in burning off grash and weedy lots, the Mayer stat ed, and we urge that all citizens avail themrelvos of this protective service. 'When you want to burn off a grass plot Harry Green or C. E. Upchurch, cniui ana assistant cuiei ui me uepai t- ment, win oring a true ana enougn men to aid in the work so that it can be done without calling out the entire department. It was explained that when the fire alarm is turned in it causes all mem bers of the volunteer department to leave their w:rk and respond to the call. While they give of their time i gladly to protect the property of the town from destruction many of them are greyly inconvenienced by this carelessners in burning trash and grass. Too, when the entire depart ment is called out there are attendant costs to which" the town is put that makes each sounding of the alarm cost the taxpayers abmt $18. This cost can be averted if the person wishing to burn rrass would only call Mr. Green or Mr. Upchurch and make ar rangement for one o- more members of the fire clepartrent supervise the burnir.3 of the plot. Mr. McFariyen stated that a special warning was issued last week for peo ple to br very careful due to the fact that it was necessary for the water tank to be drained and painted. At tention w as called to an ordinance which fo-bids burning over vacant lots without nermission.
